The field of histology is growing but the number of people entering the field is shrinking very rapidly. Therefore the salary of histologists varies greatly. A typical histologist fresh out of school with the ASCP (HT) certification will be hired at an hourly rate of 20.00-22.00. This is the starting pay for someone living in New England. After being emlpoyed in the field for 5 years the pay scale can also vary depending on what areas of histology a person has become proficent in, the more the better. The average pay scale would be from $25.00 to $30.00 an hour. After 10 consistant years in the field one will make between $30.00 to $50.00 an hour. These figures will go up dramatically in the next ten years because, the average age for a histologist today is 55 years old. This means that in 7-10 years 1/3 to 1/2 of the histology population will retire.

Yes, Histology technician training is somewhat expensive. However, if one can make at least a decent $60,00.00 a year then it may be roughly within a decent price range. More can be learned about Histology from any college with a program for it.
